Borsao Selección Tinto

Spain, Campo de Borja

Rated by Robert Parker as “possibly the single greatest dry red wine value in the world” – we will let you be the judge! Wonderful concentration with a lovely velvet texture and more savoury elements mingling with a pureplum fruitiness. Truly scrumptious and – as ever with Borsao – delivers outstanding value for money.”

Origin

Bodegas Borsao is located in the Campo de Borja - which they refer to as the “empire of the Garnacha“ - southeast of Rioja. Grapes are harvested from the foothills of the Moncayo mountain; at 600-700 metres above sea level, warm days are tempered by cool nights, which aids the ripening process and preserves acidity in the grape respectively. The Garnacha thrives in the extreme climate and represents 70% of production.

This wine is made mainly from the Colombard grape, but judicious amounts of the super little grape called Gros Manseng are added to add real weight and texture, complimenting the fruity, zesty Colombard. Exotic fruit […]
